First and foremost, the Scarlet Knights (8-3 overall, 4-2 Big East) need to beat Connecticut on Saturday to earn at least a share of the program's first league title.

Second, Rutgers needs West Virginia to lose one of its final two games. The Mountaineers play Pittsburgh tonight and then finish at South Florida on Thursday night.

Third, Rutgers needs Cincinnati and/or Pittsburgh to win out. If one of those two (or both) do that, it would create a three or four-team tie involving Louisville, Rutgers, Cincinnati and/or Pittsburgh.

Louisville, done with league play at 5-2, is assured of a share of the Big East title. Rutgers loses a head-to-head tie with the Cardinals because of Louisville's 16-14 victory over the Knights.

In a three-team tiebreaker of Louisville, Rutgers and Pittsburgh, or Louisville, Rutgers and Cincinnati, the teams will all be 1-1 against the others. The next tiebreaker is the highest-ranked team in the BCS standings.
